The skill list is outdated. Not all the skills that are in the builder exist anymore and some of them have been changed. The wiki has been updated according to the press beta last weekend.

Hmm, checked on those, not much has changed. So I'm still digging a 1her and a torch as my main weapon set. Beyond that, I'll be using whatever the situation calls for, I just picked Hammer because I like mace-to-face action.

Powers he didn't understand until he joined the Blood Legion, and slayed an (unnamed) Legionnaire, gaining respect.

I also have always loved Clerics in D&D, and was sorely disappointed when Worgen couldn't become Paladins in WoW (pfft Cow Paladins). So, I'll be loving on my Charr Guardian for a bit whilst prodding around Tyria with my guildies.

Heh, that is what I am doing. The mace and shield will be my prefered, but the hammer just seems way to useful to not use. The only weapon set I might change it out for might be the sword and shield.

Yeah, if Worgen were paladins, I might have made an alliance paladin. I like the Worgen, even as a hordie, so I would have not minded making another paladin.

Personally, I feel Guardians are what Paladin's should have been in WoW, they seem very similar in style to the paladins of WCIII.

They weren't the strongest hero in the list, but damned be you if you ever underestimated their ability.

I am going to try to honor that Image as much as I can, as a fan of the righteous archetype, that Image of the Paladin always comes into my mind when I see the Guardian Profession.

My weapons of choice will be Greatsword/Hammer and Mace/sword + shield, depending which style i prefer based on the skills they give me.

Haha, doing that myself (the archetype honoring) while trying to add that GW2 flavor twist to it. So I was digging the Sword'n'Board until I saw they got more than a shield Off-Hand. Once I saw Torch, I was like, "Setting stuff on holy fire? I'm bought So that was my first set, beyond that though, I'll have to test in-game to see what I like and then just carry the others if I have enough room.

Now I need to pick some fun Crafting skills to match his personality. Probably Cooking, and then something based on his class (Armorsmithing, Jewelcrafting, or Weaponsmithing).

I think the items are essentially the same for your background but they just changed them because cloaks and scarfs are no longer in-game.

Pretty much.

I wish we could have cloaks (esp for your main Guild's emblem), and the scarf was too Logan-ish.

Well, if they won't give us cloaks, I demand a banner stuck to my back (like Samurai did with their clans)! The whole notion of our guild symbol being on my armor feels silly (cool for a shield, but I don't like shields that much).

Mace/shield and Hammer for Pvp with skills that allow me to control the area and the charrs mines. I see my gaurdian being my PvP guy not sure if main though but I want this set up as its going to make me a pain in the ass to move and I can just get them away if they get to close.
